        Project Director : Nome Baker, Ph.D.
    </p>
    <ul>
        <li>
            Dr. Baker, founder of the Gnomus Program, received a Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of California
            at Berkeley in 1952. His training was in biochemical aspects of metabolic regulation. He carried out basic
            biochemical research for over 40 years. He was the head of research laboratories at both the Cleveland
            and Los Angeles Veterans Administration Medical Campuses and held joint appointments in Biological Chemistry,
            Medicine, or Public Health (Senior Lecturer to Adjunct Professor) at Case-Western Reserve Medical School,
            UCLA Medical School, and the University of California at Berkeley.
        </li>
        <li>
            He has served on the editorial boards of scientific journals, both as a reviewer and as an editor, and was
            a consultant and Senior Research Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where he held a
            guest appointment in the Center for Science and Engineering Education. Recently he served for several years as
            the Science Curriculum Specialist for a K-12, NSF-sponsored educational project, an outreach program of the
            University of California, Berkeley, College of Engineering involving teams of Ph.D. engineering graduate
            students and local middle and high school teachers.
        </li>
        <li>
            Throughout his academic career Dr. Baker worked with teachers, academic educators, and students to improve
            science education and to develop curricula that foster creative thinking in public school classrooms. He has
            a Certificate in Gerontology from the Andrus Center on Aging, University of Southern California, where he
            focused on Intergenerational Education in Minority Communities.
        </li>
        <li>
            After retiring from the Veterans Administration he served as the Director of Intergenerational Education
            for the American Society of Aging in partnership with the Hunter's Point Senior Center in San Francisco.
            In working with students, teachers and parents in inner-city communities, Dr. Baker became increasingly
            disturbed by the differences between low income and high income communities with respect to job
            opportunities, health and quality of life, all consequences to a large extent of differences in
            education.
        </li>
        <li>
            Dr. Baker's goal became to participate in social change in this critical area, working with both students
            and their parents, using intergenerational strategies that lead to better opportunities for all students
            including low income families. He first began to develop innovative ways to teach science in 1960. Over
            the next 40 years he worked with "gifted" and "typical" students in public schools, from first grade
            through 10th grade, from affluent to very low income, inner-city families, in both small- and
            large-size classes.
        </li>
        <li>
            He has taught students and developed curricula for teachers in the MESA (Mathematics, Engineering and Science
            Achievement) program of the University of California at Berkeley. Indeed, it was the MESA program that first
            encouraged him to develop the hands-on techniques that led to his creating
            <a href="http://www.gnomus.org/company_profile.html">Gnomus Card Decks</a> and the Gnomus Program. He has
            used these extensively in middle and high schools located in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
